It’s probably more likely that, instead of Banjaws literally being dead Pladdies, they’re just vaguely related species. Several bios mention that evolution occurs within the monster world, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they had some common ancestor but diverged quite far from each other. Although, considering the anatomical differences, it’s probably more likely that they just convergently evolved to have the same structure of having a mouth of some base with eyes atop a long tube-stalk type thing.

Now we are gonna talk about Clackula and Clamble!

I love how the third Wubbox judge drew a Furcorn.

I honestly think banjaw may be some ancient relative of pladdie

Isn't Banjaw's tendon actually a ligament because it connects a bone to a bone? Tendons connect bones to muscles, and it always seemed off to me that his bio calls it a tendon.

I love how as of yesterday banjaw and pladdie have canonically met each other for the first time

I would love to see rare pladdie be a living version of banjaw. Or at least a refrence

Maybe evolution over time ended up in a few ways 1: Pladdie started decaying but evolving to the point where its pipes became legs and it eventually grew arms 2: Banjaw evolved into pladdie giving it skin, while making its eye sockets slightly bigger, then turning the banjo ligament into a flexible air sack, as well as turning its legs into pipes and maybe the arms got turned into another feature of the skeletal structure over time.

The only thing I’m skeptical about is the arms of the banjaw

1:40 Actually, it is stated in Banjaw's description; "Banjaw's principle tendon is 37 times stretchier than a Stritch Skin, 42 times tougher than a Diamond, and 100 times twangier than, well - anything!" Now while this could mean the tendon can be pulled a great deal without breaking, it could also mean that it is actually very flexible.

And we’re back to theories! Noice! This is so detailed!

*4 billion years ago Banjaw was there *now Is that my ancestor?

"But, hey! Thats just a theory! A game theory!"

1:48 I'm so curious right now

What about is clackula clamble? They both have the same hunchback neck, no mouth and their names both start with "cla"

Everyone:All about bones Doctors:TRIGGERED

I can easily see them being part of the same family, just not the same monster. You did do a good job in your comparisons and very nerly convinced me that there might be a possibility. But yeah, I'm not convinced either.

I'd like to see more videos about the anatomy of monsters like how does Noggin work or maybe even a wubbox

Finally someone else who disagrees with the theory

3:46 wtf 😳

If you're looking for more ideas for Monster anatomy videos, maybe you could explain why the Werdos developed their unique traits such as the horns, Tawkerr's spikes, Stoowarb's third eye, etc.

The “sinew” was soft and moist,now the sinew is hard and dry because it was left in the sun to decay and still having fire Am I right? Edit:and their eyes shrunk/dried

I think that banjaw is actually a fusion of various faerie island monsters, maybe some kind of missing link between them: first off, as you stated, it looks a lot like pladdie. But I noticed there are a lot of similarities with other faeries: the eyes look like a broken floot-fly mask, the arms look a lot like bridg-it's and the feet look like cantorell's beard/tendril things. What do you think about it?

The pladdies insides are terrifying

I respect your hard work!

Your videos are great! Especially the Island Wubboxes, you inspired me draw. I'll try creating cartoon msm monsters. Thank you

Here’s the thing about the whole bone tendon thing as you can see on the monsters model it looks more dried up meaning that I can infer that it is for sure a dried up air sack which would be needed so I think personally it’s just a very hardened and dried out air sack so just saying I think it’s a yes

I think banjaw is the skeleton of a creature related to plattie. Just like how two primates like monkey and gorilla are clearly different, just with some key similarities

clackula + pladdie = POWERFUL BANJAW

Maybe Hollowed Pladdie just got and found some extra Bones and stick on him to pluck

An obscure piece of MSM mythos might deprove this. In the game Pixel Dodgers (a game co-made by BBB, in which Mammott makes a cameo) it is suggested that Monsters can die, and when they do they convert back into their respective eggs.

Legs can be present in the base the plungers could decay the arms were attached so banjaw can play it’s song and it put on a skull so it’s eyes won’t fall off

Wubbox: bruh Me: *reaches level 20*

i used to think that drains were little mouths on the sidewalk that was always thirsty so i went out everyday and fed it my coca cola now i realize why i got in trouble XD

The pipes could actually be shells like a hermit crab. Since bones are hollow, banjaw evolved and adapted to a new form, after decaying. Also you see the little scar marks in the bottom and top of the "string" of banjaw? it also might be shell because when you see banjaw open its mouth, some pink flesh extends to the top, like lungs!

As you stated, Banjaw has a tendon that is rigid. It would make sense that upon turning into bone, what was a flexible tendon allowing Pladdie to compress became a stiff bony tendon. As for the eyes, Eyeballs could've dried out after turning and appear way too small compared to the orbits. Also, keep in mind some bone monsters rebuild themselves using other bones they find, which could explain the arms, and maybe the skull too.

I’d say it is either evolution or bringing bones to life. The jaw could belong to pladie while the rest of the bones could be from other monsters from the same island, or distant ones… essentially a Frankenstein of bones.

The whole body of Banjaw has a different color than it’s neck, so is it possible that when Pladdie dies and his neck is replaced with a fake/real bone? *So here is my theory:* Pladdie had a great time but then Pladdie died of old age and went into a skeleton. The bone people like Crackula made Pladdie horn into legs and made 2 legs into 2 hands to pull Banjaw’s (Pladdie’s) neck. They made a fake bone or a real bone on bone island and made a neck bone out of it. I mostly think it’s a fake bone for the neck because how can it bend and make music? *Anyway that’s my Pladdie to Banjaw theory but what if Banjaw turned into Pladdie?* *Banjaw to Pladdie Theory:* This wouldn’t be possible because Fairie Island was in December 11, 2019 and Bone island was in April, 2020 however let’s get into this. One day Pladdie died and had to be skeleton in bone island and sing in that island. One day a fairy saw Banjaw (skeleton of Pladdie) and went to Fairy Island to call the other fairies to help Banjaw turn into Pladdie (his normal self). So they brought Banjaw there and healed Banjaw into Pladdie again. Yes that’s probably why it’s named Fairie island. And he had a great day that day. *Bona-petite must be mad* Don’t be angry in chat because this is my theory, I want to hear yours.

honestly, i think that the eye shrunk/deflated thats why it didnt fit the skull in banjaw it makes sense, since eyes are mostly fluid. for the legs i think those are just supporting beams for the horns? idk what to call it or the bone could be hollow and there was a hole at the end of it. we never really see the end of banjaws legs so its still possible

these videos even if old are so interesting and fun to watch

1. The tendon is a ligament 2. The long arms of Banjaw is resting inside Pladdie 3. The horns of Pladdie decayed into Banjaw’s legs.

We need a full version of the intro

I remember watching your old videos, you changed at lot since then!

I have a solution to make it work, it's a bit of a stretch but it works. So it's eyes could have shrunk when it decayed? Maybe pladdy's eyes were on the skull rather that inside it. This may sound a bit farfetched, but these are weird creatures from another world so eyes might work differently . You explained the tendon so I'll go with that. Banjaw's legs could have been holding up the tubes rather than being the hollow tubes. This makes it at least possible for it to work with the anatomy and sound. Finally, the arms could have been sort of like ribs to compress the air sack in pladdie, they are connected to the mouth part so pladdie could still compress.

What if the arms of Banjaw was a muscle/tendon which was originally purposed to push up pladdies skin into that blob shape when the head goes down? Or rather, to pull it (the head) down entirely? Said muscle/tendon could have hardened and dried over time to become more ‘bone-like’

Can you make some msm shorts? Like maybe wubbox finding a taco or something

They’re canonically rivals,according to the magical nexus teaser

They're probably closed related species

3:43 Random Among Us sound effect lol

lets talk about how ghast became xyster-

This is actual quite an interesting approach. I do enjoy it if this will become a sort of msm conspiracy theories Afrocentrism or debunk like what meteorz does for is it kirby canon series.

Wait banjaws legs look like separate pieces so maybe his leg were tubes and just got clogged up!

Do Potbelly and cantorell.some similarities can be found.they have a big belly and they have two heads and both end with “ll”

MSM default names E3 idea: Loodvigg and rare theremind

Maybe the skeleton of a pladdie is a seperate creature in its own rite, the skeleton soft and mushy. In Pladdies torso is the undeveloped, soft tendon, rolled up into a vaguely bulbous shape with the head inside. the legs of Banjaw are stronger and are inside of the 'pipes' of the Pladdie, supporting them. And the arms are also inside the conical structure inside Pladdie. A pladdie eventually loses its ability to compress, due to the parasitic skeleton growing within. The tendon of Banjaw will stretch and stretch, until it inevitably rips through the poor Pladdie's neck, after which it will begin its migration to bone island, dragging the decaying corpse with it to sustain itself when nessescary. underline nesseSCARY, this is gruesome, yet beautiful in a grotesque way. Peace.

Creeptanium states that Pladdie evolved into Banjaw. However, maybe Banjaw is an extinct ancestor of Pladdie that evolved into Pladdie. Not only that, but Banja is a fossilized specimen of the ancestor. Also, if this is true, Pladdie has changed significantly from its ancestor. For one, Pladdie can squish its head down. Also, its legs evolved into pipes. These are physical changes. Element-wise, as he states in the video, the Faerie element harmlessly changes into Bone. For my theory, this is going to be vice versa, with Bone changing into Faerie. The fire element stays the same, and Banjaw's Water element freezes into the Cold element, which is also stated in the video. As for Earth, it is possible that, since he stated the Faerie and Earth elements fused into bone. However, I believe that Bone separated into Earth and Faerie. It is stated in the video that Pladdie uses an air sac to produce its sound. I believe that Banjaw traded its tendon for an air sac by removing the tendon and separating its eyes from the rest of its skeleton. Or, since Creeptanium stated that Pladdie's air sac could have dried up and become its tendon, maybe Banjaw's tendon moistened and expanded like a sponge to form an air sac. However, this is not plausible at all, since air sacs are hollow. Not only that, but Pladdie's pipes are actually bones that fused the joints together to become one solid bone. Furthermore, they became tubes to produce sound. The same thing happened to Banjaw's arms, which became more pipes.

Trying to make a theory with scientific proof in a video game is like bringing a water gun to a war

Oh Wait I Think Pladdie's Have, Organ?

Well, Pladdie’s fairy element might allow it to alter its appearance and it’s bone/body strength, as fairies are related to all types of magic. Banjaw’s rare form also shows patches of red flesh. This might be part of the Pladdie’s plaid pattern, but not likely.

I think Bangaw is the bones 🦴 of a removed monster from the fairy island or yes it could just be a dead Pladdie who came to the bone 🍖 island

Ron has been tampered for you 🙏

I'd like to suggest a counter theory to this! banjaw is the missing link toward pladdie, banjaw evolved with skin and the appendages turned into the pipes and eventually it lost the need for the tendon, creating the new monster, this or banjaw is related to pladdie but branched off during evolution

Maybe once monsters die they magically metamorphizes??? Since I mean I do have a gut feeling that the devs just decided to base some designs off of some monsters lol. Maybe evolution, like they both evolved from a common ancestor species. Or maybe it is the same with G'Joob and G'Day- A different version in a different timeline??-

i have a couple theories on the past of bone island that may give clues on the bone elementals. in the bone island trailer, we see stogg entering bone island through a tunnel in fire haven, if fire haven had sunk under the ocean after the presumed extinction of the fire elementals, bone island may have flooded several times in history (thus the puddles of water, tropical plants, fishy skulls and sharks) i believe that bone island was once open to the open sunlight and was a thriving coral reef that got encased by volcanic activity, the bones of the previous residents now relics of the island's former glory. i believe a previously aquatic critter is the building block of what a bone island monster is, a Frankenstein of mismatched bones and cartilage controlled by these critters as a way of defence and as tools, this can explain the strangely out of place multi coloured legs of clackula and the half buried body of uuduk, they are bone shells around some kind of hyper-intelegent composite-amorphous organism.

I mean banjaw could have been a monster related to the monster one that could have looked like similar to him but evolved to move more and to get a more sturdy neck so my theory is that it could make a more volcal type of music then instrumental so the body could have look like him but at the end like you side they are different monsters or where at lest in the same family

Cmon, guys. Pladdie is an invertebrate if it somehow "died", it would just be a lot of muscles. Besides, we never really see evidence of it's "bones", only evidence that says it doesn't. He doesn't have teeth, it is very flexible, and it even looks like an octopus. Unless it's exit thingies are considered bones, its not banjaw.

Pladdie lost hes eye size in the Evolution But he evolved to get new limbs! This is my thory

this is kind of convergent evolution, where two unrelated species coincidentally evolving into looking similar to each other

and the fact that bone island comes after faerie island makes this theory better

The answer to this theory is why I'm subbed now

Fairy, fire, cold, and earth. Yeah, cold... sure.

Bro is teaching me more about a game than they teach me all in school

this guy is like if msm characters were real species and hes actually inspecting things about them

Bright Side + My Singing Monsters = Creeptanium

So there's something I've been wondering about reedling for a really long time now

i like how he puts high level science into a game where a green furry pear with legs thanks you for spending money

Wiblix Clones in a nutshell: First: Hey wait a minute i think i'm holding it upside down Second: * desperately trying not to scream * Third: f u r c o r n :)

The fact they referenced this theory in the trailer for magical nexus is wild lol

Guys, we know platy and banjo look alike, but it doesn’t mean banjo and platy are the same and plus they don’t even make the same sounds but if you listen closely, you can hear

Fan fact: The banjaw could make body modifications easily so The physical attributes may just be body mods.

Well see ya later pladdjaw theory!!!

Pladdie is like a blobfish it has no bones

Next: How does Banjaw eat?

Trust me this is an good idea for a new video

An interesting concept for a rare or epic of the 2 monsters is a more banjaw like pladdie, or a more pladdie like banjaw

Ugh the first time I heard of this debate, it was in a video with bandjaw texture modded onto pladdie

Banjaw: yes I’m pladdie Loodvigg: I exist to

I think banjaw is connected to loodvig they have very similar structures and both deal with bones we can see the resemblance more with the rare banjaw

Now wait a minute! Banjaw can open its jaw,so what I'd pladdie had it's teeth open with it's lips closed,it's possible to do,try it. My theory is the it closes its jaw to compress it's self,that sorta explains it,maybe the pressure of the pladdie forces it down? Maybe pladdie is heavier than it seems? Idk,also maybe the arms grew due to the farie and rock mixing? Edit: or maybe it's just rare pladdies skeleton,like you said at the end of the video

Pladdie and banjaw are rivals

Thing I would add The eye neck is for the eyes are probably for a mount so they won’t fall out 2 the trumpet horn things are skin like and they went away plus the jaws are like ours like our lips are small and wrap a smaller area than our jaws

that makes a lot of sense 🤯

Msm theorie:Earth island is just plant island but burned you can see resembles and there's grass vines or lines on random Locations

It could be that they ARE related, maybe banjaw is an extinct cousin of pladdie?

Bro literally started teaching science

I know this is off-topic but you have a very club penguin like art style

banjaw also has teeth all around it but pladdie has only a few teeth. also you showed us the skeleton of him and we saw a few feet that looked just like banjaw's and as you said how would the pipes become banjaw's feet well what if his pipes fell off and let the rest of his skin peel off becoming banjaw of course there's also the arms there is no possible way he could have had those to start with but in the bone island trailer we see stogg fall into a pile of bones and there has to be a way for them to get to bone island and back to the bone piles so armless banjaw might have moved over there picked up enough bones to make arms and put them on and we know pladdie's pipes had a few sticky substances in them because normal pipes cannot create that sound there must've been something making that sound so he can basically glue the bones on making arms then adjust to the arms making him play new music.

I think it is pladdie, if we look at bellow fish, his arms extend and retract, pladdie retracts too, so after years is pulling and pushing, it became hard.

I have a theory on the tendon or whatever people call it. Its like a shark mouths. They seem to move all the time, but when they die, the jaw is open all the time and you cant move it. Maybe that is the same with the pladdie and Banjaw

OOH! I HAVE A GOOD EXPLINATION FOR THE TENDON! its a bit of a stretch but is it possible that- even though a tendon is not a muscle- it went through some form of rigor mortis? this would explain how pladdie can squash and stretch but banjaw can pluck! although there are holes in this theory. first of all, as i mentioned, rigor mortis occurs in large muscle groups, and tendons merely connect muscle to bone. secondly, although rigor mortis begins to set in as soon as 3-8 hours post mortem, it only last for around 36 hours. however. this is my singing monsters. not irl forensic anthropology. as much detail as the msm crew put into their games, i don't think they need to have a perfect representation of rigor mortis. looking up "how long for rigor mortis to set in" brings up actual real pictures of corpses.... and do you remember the age demographic for this game?
